i have a question for ppl who use screen readers (specifically people who use them for tumblr)
how does formatting work, like do caps make a difference? do symbols like * (asterisks) and punctuation get read aloud like
post: *your
reader: asterisk your
[end dialogue]
or is there some other sound cue? does the reader pause at different lengths for commas and periods? does the reader say tags? if I misspell a word will it try its best to pronounce it or will it spell it out letter by letter? are these configurable settings?
Hey sorry ^^
Yeah I know that I'm supposed to be on hiatus, but there's something that bugging me and I can't continue my work in peace. So there was an anon who was very angry at me about screenshot and screen reading. Sometimes i like to screenshot articles and just post, and this anon was very angry that I didn't link the source or copy paste the article. I had no idea wtf is a screen reading was...
The anon typed in all caps and was so angry which evoked a strong emotion within me. I didn't even consider to understand what they were talking about screen reading
( i didn't Google it at that time because i was upset, so i thought it was not for accessibility because I had no idea :p )
And sometimes I got unkindly anon ask, so my respond was knee jerk.
( Deleted that ask but in a nutshell i said, i screenshot because some people doesn't like link) I answered this anon and then block, because they were being aggressive...
And then another anon kindly explained what is screen reading to me
And I answered that i had no idea what screen reading was and I'll try anon suggestions, and thanked this one anon...
Yeah, i had no idea, sorry...
From now on, if I post about article or something like that I'll always link the source or copy paste the article ^^ i dunno if I make a big deal about this??? But i feel bad and this thought wouldn't leave me alone
Sorry, but I'll do better ^^
Brennan Carman '20 Demonstrates Web Accessibility For Visually Impaired by Brennan Carman
This video is really helpful in explaining why using Semantic HTML is really important for web accessibility, screen reading and in assisting people that are visually impaired.

Screen Reader Demo for Digital Accessibility by Marc Sutton
A link to this video demonstration on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEbl5jvLKGQ
This is a video by Marc Sutton from the University of California San Francisco. In this video Marc explains what screen readers do and he shows how they read a screen and convert this information into synthetic speech or braille. I found this to be a really interesting video that really helped me to visualise, listen and experience how visually impaired web users use screen readers.

Scientific American has a great run down of the studies done on reading on screens vs. paper. I'm glad they debunked the "baby views magazine as a broken iPad" video. It's cute and all, but babies poke and grab at stuff. My 9 month old taps the iPad, board books, magazines, and the dog the same way. The big difference for him is he can grab and rip the pages of the magazine, which he enjoys (related: I will be selling New Yorker confetti on Etsy soon).
The article gets at, but does not mention explicitly the difference between reading fiction and nonfiction. I thought of John Palfrey's observation that law students at Harvard use paper law books because they can flip back and forth and use post it flags and so forth (mentioned in this recap of a DPLA session).
I'm interested in the bias against screen reading as not as serious. I usually think about it with regard to buying an ebook versus a paper book. Since paper books confer ownership in a way that ebooks generally don't, readers (this is largely anecdotal) buy books they really love in paper. But the idea that the actual act of reading on a screen isn't as serious as reading on paper resonates a bit. I'm thinking of someone at a reference desk. Reading articles online is definitely viewed differently in that context than reading a paper object. I think it's viewed differently by patrons in that context, too. Anyone have the opposite experience?
